Dallas Homes Need a Seamless Patio and Pool Deck Design

Dallas real estate experts note a trend towards slightly smaller lots coupled with rising home prices. Where others see a challenge, Allied Outdoor Solutions sees an opportunity.

You need a seamless patio and pool deck design that establishes a flowing, indoor-outdoor living space for your family. We have decades of experience providing just that — and more — to happy Texas homeowners.

Maximize Your Outdoor Space

The median backyard size in Dallas is just over 8,000 square feet. That’s 29% smaller than 10 years ago — it’s important that your outdoor living area provides as much usable space as possible.

Dallas homeowners “desire to live in airy spaces where we can live, work, play and have a sense of privacy,” storage expert Maria Gatea told the Lakewood/East Dallas Advocate. 

Our team of designers and contractors work hand-in-hand to ensure we maximize your outdoor space’s ability to deliver fun, relaxation and true outdoor living.

Cohesive Outdoor Living Design 

Your patio and pool area must work together to create a unified outdoor living space. Hardscaping, shade structures, outdoor kitchen and seating elements combine to form a visually appealing, highly functional layout.

Our designers also consider the existing architecture and design elements of your home. With Dallas properties getting smaller, the impact of a true indoor-outdoor space is greater than ever before. 

Ensure a Perfect Outcome With 3D Project Renderings

Start your new construction or renovation project with an immersive 3D computer rendering. We’ll walk you through your space before it’s even built — this allows you to truly collaborate with our design team on the layout, features and functions that matter to you.

“The process was easy,” our recent client Bill S. said. “And when we saw the computer renderings of what our space could become … we couldn’t wait to get started!” 

Local Outdoor Living Pool and Patio Design Inspiration Gallery

Our design-build team took extra care when curating this Dallas pool and patio design gallery. We didn’t focus on the “biggest, most spacious designs” — because that’s not what DFW homeowners truly need from an outdoor living space.

Instead, we focused on tailored solutions that provide optimal results in real Dallas backyard spaces. Whether it’s classic Texas style, modern compact solutions or an updated take on rustic ranch design, get inspired by our local outdoor living solutions!

Classic Dallas Pool and Patio

This timeless Dallas outdoor living space features a seamless patio, pool deck and swimming pool design. An outdoor island, spacious seating areas and custom fireplace are standout features.

Key Considerations

• Classic Texas design. True Texas outdoor living was the backbone of our design brief. The clients wanted materials and elements that felt local, natural and inviting.
• Heat resistant materials. There would be usable space everywhere in this yard. Heat resistant solutions were necessary to keep decking, seating and furniture cool.

The Finished Product

Your outdoor living experience begins under a classic “chickenfoot” gabled patio cover. And what’s a Texas patio without an outdoor kitchen island? Pull up a barstool, or fill your plate and retreat to the outdoor sofa.

Take a dip in the inground swimming pool, then warm up by the custom outdoor fireplace at the patio’s edge. The entire design is tied together with premium Carvestone concrete overlay. Its light color resists heat absorption, and its modified concrete construction offers enhanced protection from moisture and chlorinated pool water.

Clean and Compact Patio and Pool

Space concerns? Not anymore. We amplified this outdoor space into a resort getaway with a gorgeous pergola and pool deck, all protected by slatted privacy fencing.

Key Considerations

• A private, compact space. A small lot size still deserves big design solutions. We were challenged to maximize compact spaces and create ample backyard privacy.
• Modern finishes. The homeowners wanted clean, modern design materials. A blend of luxurious-feeling finishes and premium durability was essential.

The Finished Product

A geometric pool layout defines the renovated outdoor space with clean lines. Gorgeous white pergola flooring and pool deck materials offer premium water and heat resistance.

This design proves privacy is possible in a smaller lot. Slatted walls create sleek, modern privacy for the pergola, where guests can curl up on comfy seating to watch TV and have a drink.

Modern Ranch Patio and Pool Deck

Update your space while paying tribute to the rich tradition of Dallas ranch-style homes. This upgraded patio and pool deck features rich Carvestone overlays that mimic local flagstone, and a freeform swimming pool and circular spa.

Key Considerations

• Rustic ranch appeal. This beautiful ranch style home deserved a fresh update, but the premium materials and design layout had to pay tribute to the home’s architecture.
• Moisture resistance. A majority of the outdoor living space is beyond the attached patio roof structure. High resistance to rain, pool chemicals and hail damage was crucial.

The Finished Product

We love the rich brown tones of the patio and pool deck. Custom-poured Carvestone emulates natural stone, but offers far better durability against moisture and pool chemicals. 

A short attached patio cover provides just enough protection for guests from an unexpected rainstorm or hot summer day. A freeform pool layout adds curves and visual intrigue.

Dallas-Specific Design: Local Challenges to Consider

Building a long-lasting outdoor living space in Dallas requires a full understanding of local climate and soil conditions.

From clay soil erosion to hail damage and summer heat, here’s some advice from our experts on how to tackle DFW’s outdoor construction challenges.

Shifting Soil and Stability

Dallas-Fort Worth sits on a large bed of clay-based soil. This expansive soil type swells when it rains and shrinks when it dries out. This leads to a great deal of shifting and cracking underneath your outdoor living spaces.

The solution: Our contractors find pouring a thicker concrete slab foundation helps stabilize shifting clay soil over time. Underground drainage solutions divert groundwater away from your hardscaping and foundation.

Consider terraces and retaining walls on sloped properties. These design features mitigate soil erosion and establish a flat, graded surface for your patio and pool deck.

Hail Damage Protection

“Don’t we live in the South?” Dallas residents ask. Texas experiences nearly 2x as many annual hail events as any other state — the DFW Metroplex alone sees 10-20 hailstorms per year.

Hail causes billions of dollars in insured losses to Texas homes and outdoor spaces. Smart patio and pool deck solutions that combat hail protect you from damage and insurance claims.

The solution: Start with modified concrete overlay materials for your patio and pool deck. When properly sealed, they provide 5,000+ PSI of pressure resistance against impact.

A solid patio cover protects your outdoor kitchen, furniture and entertainment spaces. Covered patios made from treated lumber, aluminum or metal offer enhanced durability.

Did you know? Travelers Insurance reports some insurance companies offer discounts for installing hail-resistant shingles. Talk to our contractors about your patio roofing options.

Beating the Heat

Dallas endures over 100 days of 100°F+ heat every year. This blazing heat is enough to drive many homeowners inside during the summer. And direct sunlight causes weathering, fading and structural damage to your flooring, decking and outdoor appliances.

The solution: Light-colored materials absorb less heat than darker colors. Cream, tan, white and off-white Carvestone and natural stone are wonderful heat resistant building materials.

Build a covered patio with integrated smart ceiling fans. You won’t just cool your guests — you’ll improve ventilation for your outdoor grill, range hood and custom fire feature.
